we had a great storm this morning but just look at the size of this over the adriatic !
Look at the strike rate for the storm in the adriatic. The sky must be constantly lit up.

I think we're all waiting for the sun to pep things up as the central mass of air ( south of the current low centre?) starts to throw up storms? That area of storm that I pointed out also seem to be in an area of rotation from the low centre??? Looks bound for Oxford? Any reports of the storms embedded in the end of that wedge?
Definately a storm embedded in the wedge. Just passed over us and was fantastic.

Well that was fun for 20 minutes. Biblical rainfall and constant thunder and lightning. Now drifting off to the south east looking at it
-
Rain today is really getting going north of the M4 corridor now.

Still rumbling around here. I wonder if the Stroud cell is going to fire up when it gets to us

Normally only shows cloud to ground so often when you get a storm you see much more lightning at your location compared to what the lightning maps show. This is why you often get storms not showing on lightningmaps, I had one back in May and it was all cloud-cloud and didn't show at all on lightningmaps.
Thanks for that.
Still flashing around here and close to Swindon centre
-
Well that was short and sweet. Never the less, was good out in the garden watching it. Still rumbling but no new stikes showing. Pouring down now.

Hmm! Don't think lingthtningmaps is showing all the cloud to clouds as I was watching it and my laptop simultaneously and all were not showing.

Looks like they're in a hurry to get them planes in the air

looks like another serious amount of precip about to hit Carmarthen

holy smokes, field to the rear of our garden struck by lightning, I kid you not!......the resultant explosive concussion of thunder should be bottled and prescribed as an instant cure for constipation!!
I remember being stood in the entrance to the old Do it All building over Greenbridge retail park before it was developed during a storm. Lightning struck the building directly opposite me about 100 yds away. Apart from being blinded for a second as if a flasgun had gone off in your face, there wasn't so much as a clap of thunder as just a loud bang. If you ever seen those tv programs where they try to simulate lightning in a test chamber when all you here is a loud crack as it discharges, it was just like that. No extended rumbles or anything, just a shotgun going off in your ear. Amazing to experience but a bit to close for comfort.

Trust me a good thunderstorm!
It was. It looks like it's lost a lot of its potency looking at the rainfall radar.

Ah! Rodbourne railway bridges. The favorite Swindon flashflood hot spot. Got a feeling storm drains converge there before passing the sewage works before entering the River Ray. Apparently you can drive a Range Rover down the storm drain under there it's that big. In these situations the water pushes up the manhole covers and floods the road, the drain still can't cope. This means Bridgemead Sainsburys most probably got flooded as well.
-
You can just make out the water up to the bumpers. Where are you. I'm in Upper Stratton and we still have thunder and lightning.

Ian tweeted last hour "Some interesting cloudbase structures/lowering under these storms... keep eyes peeled for any funnel cloud photo opportunities!" so it's possible that it was
We must have had at least 50mph gusts with that last storm.
-
Right! That's that one out the way. Looks like another cell heading up from Bath.
-
Lightning definately more prounounced at the back edge of the Swindon cell. I think its obscured by all the rain on the leading edge.
-
Hey All.
VERY interesting updraught just passed a few miles north of here - I was watching it twisting up into the storm cell. No wall clous aws such, but some rising scud - A heads up for anyone downwind of Cirencester. what a SUPERB summer!!!!
SamYour about to get what we just had. Absolutely amazing rain and lightning.
edit: Oh dear! Lots of emergency services sirens
